ORIGIN AND HISTORY OF THE COLLECTION In 1884, through the kindness of a friend in Florence, Mrs. Crosby Brown secured a few Italian instruments to decorate her music room at Brighthurst, on Orange Mountain, NeW Jersey. These specimens, Nos. 1066, 1081, 1090, 1214 in the Catalogue, were the original nucleus from which the whole col- lection grew. Others were added from time to time, until the number reached 276, and the problem of housing so numerous and exacting a family became a serious one. It had been Mrs. Brown's desire from the first to make her collection useful to the public. Accordingly, after conference with Mr. William C. Prime, of New York, then one of the trustees of the Mu- seum, she decided to oflfer it to the Metropolitan Museum of Art, only stipulating that she should have full charge of the arrangements during her lifetime, and be free to make any additions* or changes which she might see fit. The oflfer was accepted by the Museum, and in 1889 the transfer was duly made. At this time the Museum possessed some forty-five instruments (Nos. 16, 41, 42, no, 116, 342, 354, 360, 379, 391, 396, 399> 400, 413, 414, 479. 483, 857, 975, 976, 1007, 1012, 1015, 1022, 1024, 1025, 1040, 1041, 1044, 1046, 1061, 1062, 1063, 1064, 1065, 1067, 1070, 1072, 1073, 1077, 1 199, 1210, 1212, 1221, 1223), largely European, many very beautiful, and all, with one exception acquired by purchase (No. 1221), the gift of Mr. Joseph Drexel, of New York. These were combined with the new acquisitions received through Mrs. Brown, and the 300 and more specimens resulting were placed on exhibition in Gallery 4, on the ground floor, adjoining the Cesnola collec- tion of Cypriote glass. The collection thus constituted took Digitized by Google 4 THE METROPOLITAN MUSEUM OF ART the name from the larger donor, but the specimens received through the generosity of Mr. Drexel were specially labeled, and are indicated in the present Catalogue by the donor's name. In the few cases subsequent to 1889, in which instru- ments have been received through others than Mrs. Brown, this fact is also specially indicated, e. g., No. 278 (Gallery No. 27)y the gift of Mrs. Ladew, and Nos. 1236 (Gallery No. 27) and 1820 (Gallery No. 25), loaned, respectively, by Mr. Bay- ard Smith and Mrs. Hearst. In the years following 1889 the collection increased rapidly, the additions being stored in the basement until such time as adequate exhibition room could be obtained. With the opening of the new north wing in November, 1893, the desired oppor- tunity came, and the Director set aside Galleries 27 and 28 to be the permanent home of the collection, which now numbered some 700 specimens. Growth continued without interruption during the next three years, the number almost doubling by 1896. In that year room was found for the 600 additional speci- mens by the construction of upper cases, and the whole number rearranged and reclassified. The present numbering dates from this time. Three years later expansion was again necessary, and Gallery 26 was added to the others in order to provide room for a collection which now numbered more than 2,000 speci- mens. The new quarters made possible a much more satisfactory arrangement. Gallery 27 was set apart for Asia, Gallery 28 for Africa, America and Oceania, and Gallery 26 for Europe; while larger instruments, too cumbrous for exhibition in the wall cases, were placed in the centre of each room. It was deemed inadvisable to alter the numbers, as the constant addi- tions and changes made any permanent uniformity of number- ing impossible. Since 1899 more than 500 specimens have been added, the most important accession being a large number of European brass instruments. These have been housed in Gal- lery 25, which has been assigned by the Director for this pur- pose. The total number of instruments now in the possession of the Museum reaches nearly 2,800.^ * The total number, January, 1903, exceeds 3,000. Digitized by Google CATALOGUE OF MUSICAL INSTRUMENTS 5 While the selection and acquisition of specimens has been solely the work of the donor, she has received constant and most generous assistance from many persons, without whose aid the work could not have been accomplished. She is es- pecially glad to take this opportunity to make public acknowl- edgment of her indebtedness to the Directors of the chief European museums, to United States Consuls in various parts of the world, and to many correspondents of Brown Brothers & Company for painstaking and courteous assist- ance. Above all, she would express her gratitude to many missionaries of the various churches, who, although in many cases unknown to her personally, have responded most cheer- fully to her appeal for help, and, in their several fields, have labored to advance the interests of the collection with an intelli- gence, a persistence and an efficiency which are worthy of the highest praise. Among individuals — to mention three names onbr among many — she feels under deep obligations to the Rajah Sourindro Mohun Tagore, of Calcutta, India, for the generous gift of a large and beautiful collection of Hindu in- struments, and to Mr. Alfred J. Hipkins, of Broadwoods, Lon- don, and the Rev. F. W. Galpin, of Hatfield Vicarage, England, for many friendly suggestions and much helpful counsel. Mr. Hipkins has most kindly undertaken the preparation of the In- troduction to the Special Catalogue of Keyboard Instruments which i^s issued as a companion to this volume.^ To Mr. Galpin she owes a debt of gratitude which she can never repay for the unfailing generosity with which he has placed at her disposal not only his ample stores of technical information, but also the treasures of his unique collection. During a recent visit to the United States, undertaken at the collector's request, he spent more than three weeks at the Museum, assisting her in the identification and classification of the European specimens. In the preparation of the Catalogue his counsel and assistance have been constant, and the prefaces which introduce the several groups of European instruments, as well as many of the smaller notes through out the body of the text, are from his pen. * Reprinted in Hand-Book No. 13, Part i, Europe, page xxiii. Digitized by Google THE METROPOLITAN MUSEUM OF ART SCOPE OF THE COLLECTION. The title of the collection indicates that it contains musical instruments of all nations. It has been the aim of the donor to bring together specimens of all the representative musical instruments known to have been used by man. The work of the ancient civilizations of Egypt, Assyria, Greece, Rome, etc., has, of course, largely perished, and a knowledge of their mu- sical instruments, with the exception of a comparatively small number preserved in European nmseums or figured on the monuments, it is consequently impossible to obtain. In this field, therefore, completeness has not been sought. Some of the more important examples of those extant are, however, here represented by reproductions, and the Egyptian specimens are grouped together as a type case in Gallery 26 in order to form a suitable introduction to the European collection. With regard to the instruments now in common use in Europe, the difficulty is of the opposite kind. Here the rich- ness of the material renders a restriction necessary. To in- clude all the forms now in use would be manifestly impossible. Moreover, quite apart from considerations of space, it has been felt that the latest developments of musical mechanism are more in place in the technical collection of a Conservatory of Music than in a Museum of Art. With these exceptions, no typical specimen which it was possible to obtain has been re- fused admission. Throughout the collection, where it was not possible to secure the original of an important type, as in the case of the Egyptian harp, the Roman bucina and many speci- mens of medieval European instruments now extinct, careful reproductions have been secured of the best existing specimens. Thus every effort has been made to secure the greatest possible completeness within the field actually covered.^ * The Metropolitan Museum of Art, at Mrs. Brown's suggestion, and under her direction, is endeavoring to procure photographs of the Digitized by Google CATALOGUE OF MUSICAL INSTRUMENTS 7 As at present constituted, the collection fulfils a double func- tion. It makes it possible, first, to trace the development of the several distinct types of musical instruments from the first rude beginning to the finished forms now in use, and, sec- ondly, to illustrate the varying forms assumed by these types under the influence of the different civilizations. The first explains the presence of the large number of savage specimens in the collection. Through these it is possible to recover many of the primitive forms which are otherwise inaccessible, and to discover many obscure links in the chain of development. It has been the special effort of the donor to secure a full repre- sentation of the savage instruments of America, North and South, and of the Islands of the Sea. Already many of the instruments included in the collection have become extinct, and the same destroying influences threaten before many years to exterminate the rest. For this reason, as well as for their in- trinsic interest, the large representation of primitive speci- mens is a matter of congratulation. Attention is also called to the primitive and savage specimens included among the rep- resentatives of the higher civilizations. This union of the primitive and the more highly developed on a large scale and over a wide area constitutes a distinguishing feature of the collection. For the full representation of Oriental instruments less ex- planation is needed. In China, Japan, Burmah, Siam, India, Persia, and the various Mohammedan countries of southwest- ern Asia and northern Africa, music has reached a point of development where the interest in its study ceases to be anti- quarian. In each case we have to do with an art which has a collections of musical instruments of the European Museums. Through the kind assistance of the Directors, of which it is desired here to make grateful acknowledgment, .many have already been obtained, and the number is constantly increasing. They will be placed in the Library for the benefit of those who are interested in the study of the subject. At- tention is also called to the photographs and drawings in the cases de- signed to illustrate the method of playing the different instruments on exhibition. Digitized by Google S THE METROPOLITAN MUSEUM OF ART long history back of it, and which has developed, both in theory and practice, forms of the highest interest to the musical stu- dent . There is already a large and growing literature on Oriental music. It is believed that the representative specimens contained in the collection will usefully supplement the infor- mation thus, obtained. Even to those without technical inter- est in the subject, the number and high artistic beauty of many of the forms here included will be a revelation of the extent to which the development of the musical art has been carried in quarters which lie outside the horizon of ordinary musical in- struction. In the choice of individual specimens the educational pur- pose has been paramount. Though containing many examples of rare artistic merit, no instrument has been chosen for its beauty alone, nor has historical association been a determining consideration. In each case the specimen has won its right to a place because illustrating some step in the development of music. No special effort has been made to secure the works of famous masters. The collector has no sympathy with the practice of locking up in museums instruments noted for rare beauty of tone. In a few cases, indeed, it may be important to secure single specimens in order to illustrate some principle in the history of the art- Thus, it is greatly to be hoped that the collection may ultimately contain examples of the work- manship of the great Italian violin makers. But, in general, a Stradivarius or an Amati is too precious to be condemned to a monastic existence. Special efforts have been made to secure the complete rep- resentation of families where such are known to exist. The sin- gle instruments now in use in our orchestras are survivors of a much more numerous company. This is true not merely of the violins, with their predecessors, the viols, but also of many wind instruments. Thus the flute family, now reduced to two representatives, originally contained no less than six, and the same is true of the clarinet, the oboe and many others. It has been the aim of the collector, as far as possible, to re- cover the missing members, and to show them in their original Digitized by Google CATALOGUE OF MUSICAL INSTRUMENTS 9 relationships. Those who are best acquainted with the history of music will most appreciate the difficulty of this undertaking, and be quickest to realize how many years of patient research are represented in the modest groups which, to the uninstructed eye, seem so ordinary and commonplace.^ Apart from the repetition which grows out of the inclusion of many localities and nationalities, duplicates have, as far as possible, been avoided. This has been done largely to econo- mize space. In a collection designed for exhibition, as must be the case in a Museum of Art, the freedom possible under other conditions is impossible. It would, however, greatly add to the value of the collection if it were possible at some later date to gather about the instruments designed for exhibition a sec- ond group, which could be used solely for study and experi- mentation. If this were the case, the restriction which now prevents the inclusion of duplicates would fall to the ground. A feature of the collection to which attention is called is the presence of models showing the mechanism of the various instruments, as, for instance, the diflferent kinds of reeds, free and beating, the different varieties of tubes employed in wind instruments, as conical, cylindrical, etc., and the diflferent ac- tions of the various keyboard instruments. In this way it is possible to unlock some of the secrets hidden away within tubes and behind cases, and to show through how much more intricate and winding a path than might at first appear man has been led in his search for sweet sounds. In the second European room, Gallery 25, there is a collection of portraits, engravings, lithographs, etc., of musical com- ^ The following are the families completely represented : The viol, violin and guitar; the transverse flute without keys, transverse flute with keys; the very large recorders and the smaller set; the galoubet and the ocarina ; the clarinet and saxophone ; the krumhorn, oboe, bas- soon and pommer; the cornet a bouquin, ophicleide, Russian horn; trombone; helicon; brass sax horn, rotary valves; sax horn, pump valves ; sax horn, bell over shoulder model ; wooden sax horn.

These are chrono- logically arranged in a revolving frame. Other portraits of less known musicians are placed in scrap books in the library.^ ARRANGEMENT AND CLASSIFICATION OF THE COLLECTION. Educational considerations have, so far as possible, been consulted in the arrangement of the collection. Of the two most common methods — the geographical and the genetic — ^the former has been preferred. This has not been due to any lack of interest in the principle of development, but solely to the belief that by the geographical arrangement it is possible to illustrate certain facts of interest in musical history which a purely developmental classification would obscure. The his- tory of an art does not progress along straight lines. The river has its rapids and its eddies, as well as its deep, quiet pools. So, in the development of music, each civilization moulds the common musical material in fashions of its own. Progress is now rapid, now slow, and often we note what seems a retro- gression. A geographical arrangement brings out the distinct- ive features of the different civilizations and enables one to see at a glance what each has contributed to the development of the art as a whole. In general, the collection falls into three parts. The first, containing the instruments of Africa, Amer- ica, North and South, and Oceania, occupies Gallery 28. Asia fills Gallery 2y, with its more developed art, as illustrated in the great civilizations of China, Japan, Corea, India, Siam and Burmah, Persia, Turkey and Arabia. Galleries 25 and 26 are given up to Europe, as well as the large central cases in the other two rooms. Roughly speaking, the three geo- graphical divisions correspond to the three main stages in the * In all, the Museum possesses more than 700 portraits ; of these, 203 were presented by Mrs. Charles B. Foote, and the remainder are the gift of Mrs. Brown. Only those exhibited in the revolving frame in Gallery 25 are included in this Catalogue. Digitized by Google CATALOGUE OF MUSICAL INSTRUMENTS 11 history of the art. In the first room we have the musical in- struments of primitive man, where the same simple forms recur again and again, with only unimportant variations. In the second, we meet highly developed forms of art, yet each with strong marks of individuality, due to the civilization of which it is the child. Entering the European rooms, we find that the last trace of isolation has vanished. Music has assumed a character truly cosmopolitan, and the work of each man, whether with hand or brain, has become the common property of all the nations. Here, accordingly, the geographical ar- rangement has been abandoned in the interest of a more scien- tific classification. This difference has its bearing on the problem of the cata- loguer. Where the geographical arrangement is controlling, as in the first two divisions, it is more convenient to follow the order of cases, even though this involves the separation of instruments of the same kind. In the case of Europe, however, where instruments are grouped after their kind, departure from the strict case order has sometimes proved necessary. Frequent cross references have been inserted for the benefit of the visitor, and the student's guide, on page xxxiv, will, it is hoped, sufficiently explain the principle of the arrangement. The gap between the different parts of the Catalogue is in a measure bridged, and the relation of the European instruments to their more primitive relatives indicated, partly by the Egyp- tian type case in Gallery 26, which gives examples of the most important instruments in common use in a civilization to which the music of Europe was so largely indebted, partly by the notes in connection with the several Prefaces to the European Catalogue, which call attention to some of the more important allied forms to be found in other parts of the collection. While the second to appear in order of time, the Hand-Book which is here offered to the public constitutes the first section of the general Catalogue. Theoretically, no doubt, the primi- tive and Oriental instruments should precede those of Europe. Practically, however, the reverse order proves most convenient. With Europe we reach the most highly developed forms which Digitized by Google 12 THE METROPOLITAN MUSEUM OF ART musical history presents. Europe, therefore, gives us our most convenient point of departure. For the classification here adopted, the collector desires to express her indebtedness to Mr. Galpin, whose assistance in this, as everywhere in the preparation of the Catalogue, has proved invaluable. The divisions followed are a simplified arrangement of the scheme drawn up by him for the International Music Exhibition held in 1900 at the Crystal Palace, London, and are briefly set forth in the table which follows.^ More detailed information on the different classes and sections will be found in the pref- aces, which introduce the several divisions of the Catalogue. In conclusion, the collector desires to express her special obligation to her son. Professor Wm. Adams Brown, whose advice has been constantly at her service during the prepa- ration of the Catalogue, and who has seen the book through the press. M. E. B. *To Mr. Victor Mahillon, Curator of the Museum of the Royal Conservatory of Music at Brussels, the musical world is indebted for the most elaborate classification of musical instruments at present known. Digitized by Google PLAN OF THIS SECTION OF THE HAND-BOOK. In the preparation of this section of the hand-book the con- venience of the visitor has been the determining consideration. With the exception of Cases 24-28, where the division of the countries and cases do not exactly correspond, the description follows the order of cases without reference either to the num- ber of the specimen or to the character of the instrument. The cause of the irregularity of the numbering has already been ex- plained. In order to avoid all possible inconvenience, an index has been provided by means of which any instrument may be readily located. In order to perfect the classification of instruments in the European section of the Catalogue illustrating the kindred types in different countries, it has been found necessary to remove certain specimens embodied in the Catalogue of this Gallery. These instruments will be found on pages 18, 23, 28, 41, 44, 51, 55, 57, 60, 69, 71, 74, 76, yy, 78, 79, 80, and 83, and are designated by an asterisk. It only remains to add that the present hand-book includes all specimens in Gallery 2.y, comprising China, Japan, Corea, Siam and Burmah, India, Asiatic Russia, Persia, Turkey, Arabia, Syria and Palestine. The large central case contains European Keyboard Instruments which are described in the " Special Catalogue of Keyboard Instruments," and are also embodied in the European section of Hand-Book No. 13, Part I.
